Paserene Union 2019 – A Bold & Intense 100% Syrah

The Paserene Union 2019 is a rich, concentrated Syrah that exemplifies the power of Tulbagh’s unique terroir. Crafted from low-yielding vines grown on arid, scaly soil, this wine is the result of meticulous site selection and thoughtful winemaking. The low crop load of just two tons per hectare results in an exceptionally dark, structured, and expressive Syrah.

Winemaking & Maturation

• 100% Syrah, sourced exclusively from Tulbagh, known for its intensely flavored Syrah grapes.
• Fermented in open-top concrete tanks for about a month to enhance its depth and complexity.
• Aged in third- and fourth-fill barrels for 16 months, preserving the wine’s bright fruit integrity.
• Bottled unfiltered and matured for an additional year before release, allowing flavors to fully integrate.

Terroir & Climate

The Paserene Union 2019 originates from Tulbagh, a region characterized by hot days and cool evenings, perfect for producing intensely flavored and structured Syrah. The decomposed shale soils naturally restrict yields, resulting in highly concentrated fruit and remarkable depth.
